Marquesas Flags - French Polynesia and the Florida Keys


There are two Marquesas in the world.  Currently one belongs to France as a part of French Polynesia in the South Pacific, while the other belongs to the USA as a part of the Florida Keys.  The flags here are inverts of each other via their red and yellow sections.  The mask of the French Marquesas has a traditional mask of the peoples to settle the South Pacific. 

Likewise the American Marquesas has a traditional mask of the peoples from the North Atlantic to settle this island and make it their own; the masks are of the theater variety of the comedy and tragedy of theater, or rather the joy and sadness of a story.
